USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The westward expansion of settlers in the USA led to a complete annihilation of American Indians who were pushed westwards, down the Mississippi river, and then further west beyond that. They fought back, but were defeated; their villages were burnt and cattle destroyed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Relocation was either voluntary or forced. Army and militia patrols supervised the tribes’ westward journey. It is estimated that between 1830 and 1840 the government relocated more than 70, 000 Native Americans, thousands of whom died along what came to be known as the Trail of Tears.

Detailed explanation-3: -What was the impact of westward expansion on American Indians during the Jacksonian era? Most American Indians were relocated to lands west of the Mississippi. The Indian Removal Act was written in the early 1800s. The government used this act to move American Indians to land in the West.
